Unsung Heroes

There were so many heroes on 9/11/2001. For each one we heard of so many went un-noticed. This tutorial is dedicated to one of these unsung heroes. Her name is Suzette. A tiny Papillon who helped calm the children at one of the piers while they waited for news of missing parents.

Love you Suzette!
